Key stats: A former wildcat quarterback, Kelce was highly productive in 2012, setting Cincinnati's team record for receiving yardage by a tight end and finishing fourth in the NCAA at his position. He snagged 45 catches for 722 yards and eight touchdowns, earning first-team all-Big East honors for his efforts.

Notable: His skill set has drawn comparisons to New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski, but there are character issues after Kelce was suspended the entire 2010 season for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

There are also durability concerns. He missed significant time in 2011 with a shoulder injury and played through a sports hernia last season, which has hindered him during the pre-draft process.

Quotable: "What I like about him, he's got pretty good run after the catch ability. This is a kid, when he snags that ball and gets in the open field with his size and his athleticism, can do some damage." -- Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN.com

"Just let them know that I'm a high-character guy. There's stuff that's happened in my past that's happened. I've dealt with it. I've learned from it and I've overcome everything that's happened earlier in my college career. And to let them know who I am as a person, that I'm willing to do whatever the team needs me to do and I'm all for the organization as a whole." -- Kelce on the NFL interview process
